L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

A Pet Minichu

Gretel, a wee Yorkie, 
Our constant loving companion for fourteen years 
Suddenly 

Left us bereft 
With great sadness we mourned with tears 
She left 

Always 
At heaven’s piers 
Stays 

Gretel, a wee Yorkie, 
With great sadness we mourned with tears 
Stays 

SECOND PLACE WINNER

Caren Krutsinger April 12, 2021 at 6:49 AM Gretel is with Deb, waiting for you! No worries there! L Milton Hankins April 12, 2021 at 7:26 AM Oh, I think so. Have you ever read "The Rainbow Bridge?" It's about our animals waiting for us. If there are no animals in heaven, then I'll just stay here!
